Thanks for Your Support!

Thanks to all who have supported the AAPD PAC via the voluntary PAC contribution "check-off" on your current 2018-19 dues statement. Your support is critical to our long-term success. If you have not made a donation yet please consider doing so. This is of course an election year and the make-up of the next (116th) Congress will be critical to our advocacy efforts.
Candidates supported by the AAPD PAC during the 2018 Congressional election cycle are listed below. It is important for AAPD mem- bers to understand that our PAC is non-partisan, and supports members of both parties based on their support of chil- dren’s oral health and the AAPD’s legislative priorities. There is usually a slight tilt towards the party currently in power in the Senate and House, since that party controls committee chair positions.

This past Spring and Summer we have been busy delivering AAPD PAC checks to these candidates, and I want to thank all the AAPD members who have assisted in this process.

Note that when PAC funds are replenished via the 2018-19 dues cycle, the AAPD PAC will also support those House members signing onto FY 2019 Title VII Pediatric Dentistry Dear Colleague letter. This letter was printed in the July PDT.
